High performance metallocene single-site polymerization catalysts are tailored to produce the full range of polypropylene homo- and copolymers. Their unique properties include:

• Very uniform and narrow weight distribution (MWD < 2.5)
• Uniform comonomer incorporation
• Significantly reduced low molecular weight fractions (low solvent extractables)
• Significantly reduced chlorine content (typically < 2 ppm)
• Much better crystallization behavior and reduced crystallite size

Due to their superior balance of properties, metallocene polypropylenes target value-added performance applications to replace conventional Ziegler-Natta polypropylene grades.

Novolen is one of the leading companies in the field of metallocene technology. The Novocene™ technology covers catalyst, polymerization technology, polymers and all related services. With the introduction of our latest generation of high performance Novocene catalyst, metallocene polypropylene technology has reached a cost competitive range compared with Ziegler-Natta catalysts. The Novocene technology has proven to be drop-in capable for the Novolen gas-phase process.
